A modest proposal from the chair of the UK Obesity Healthcare Goals is to reduce disparities in obesity simply by offering smaller portions in restaurants and packaged foods. Trouble is that #ObesityPrevention is not so simple as he presumes.

At NIH last week, a symposium on sustainable #ObesityCare and the gaps in research to support it really laid out the most pressing questions for moving beyond present simplistic #WeightLoss thinking.

Everywhere we turn, we see evidence of how increasingly difficult it is becoming to avoid exposure to #PFAS – the endocrine disrupting chemicals that contribute to our #obesity risk.

Having just celebrated 43 years, we are ready to believe the link between emotionally supportive #marriages and a lower risk of #obesity is meaningful. This new study delves into the biological basis for it. Much more to be learned.

The subject of preserving #muscle is getting a lot of intention, sometimes leading people to lose sight of the real point: #HealthOutcomes. Resistance and other forms of exercise are important for health.

Some people seem to be interpreting the rallying cry of "Food Is Medicine" to give them permission for downing #OliveOilShots. Gwyneth Paltrow is one of them and that gives us confidence to say that this trend is BUNK. Ewww.

We agree when @marionnestle.bsky.social, @astokespop.bsky.social, and David Sarwer say don't neglect #ObesityPrevention. But we are suspecting that market dynamics are doing more to bend the curve than many health advocates. It's time to catch up with reality.

This is big. Where @who.int used to treat obesity as a behavioral risk factor, it now embraces the understanding of #obesity as a complex chronic disease, recommending treatment with GLP-1s and supportive care.

What little most consumers know about #PBMs is not good. Big hassles, high costs, and poor access to care. It's little wonder that many trends in the marketplace could make them irrelevant. Everyone seems to be shunning them.
